How good is Skyr!

[Double07]

Im bored so I thought I would just share how much I love this stuff. Just polished a full pot off, on its own with nothing added.

Try it if you haven't already.

I have the Vanilla with chopped up Banana in the afternoon.

Bananas are the devils work On a more serious note I do really dislike them and every smoothie bar a couple have them in, for obvious reasons given the bulk they provide. I really liked the Kiwi/Lime innocent smoothie but it was just too expensive and full of calories/sugar/fat/crap, yes some is natural from the fruit but plenty wasn't. Plain old Skyr though I love so problem solved, and not a banana in sight

Almost as good as Fage

Erm, innocent smoothies don't have any added sugar.

No, but they have plenty of naturally occurring sugar

Never call it Skyr within earshot of an Icelander as it’s nothing like the genuine stuff and they get the raving hump.

I like that Oykos Greek stuff. Especially the salted caramel one.
Healthy?
No.
Care?
Nope

I did say the sugar was natural. But im not a fan of sugar in general.

Yeah I know but every country has that dont they. I mean when I leave Scotland I cant find decent shortbread or heroin for love nor money!

 

[Randomface74]

Picked some up to try, it had better be good

Got three 450g pots delivered this morning, better be good........

No pressure OP!

Really don't like the consistency of it. Definitely not buying it again.

I wasnt specifically having a pop at innocent smoothies, could have worded it better. Also they must have changed the recipe since I last bought it because they never used to have evil bananas in them.

Its just like thick yoghurt, although you do really need to give a right good stir before eating.

Haha no doubt youll hate it, I like weird things that no-one else seems to like

[jpaul]

with more hipster-friendly branding on the package, then?

indeed seems it is a strained yoghurt, but plain yoghurt can be a bit bland, so if you have concentrated lactose, like condensed milk?, could be nice.

Innocent was guilty - oxymoron

guess I had not realised it, and innocent in particular, was more sugar than 7-up -
they had a distinctive new add on tv last night & there was a wall off innocent stuff in Waitrose.

Prefer eating it (or quark) instead of drinking a shake since it's more or less pure protein.

Skyr is good, Fage is better!

Ive never tried Quark, whats it like? I read its like cheese but acts like cream, whatever that means!

Im awful at eating breakfasts so I can just sit with a tub of Skyr and a spoon and thats me until lunch. Bit healthier than my roll and square sausage and tattie scone and sauce.
